Crews in East San Jose are responding to a growing brush fire burning in the South Bay that is threatening homes Thursday afternoon.
KPIX spoke to area resident Jeanene Rumsey, who said she called to report the fire early on.
"I'm glad that I did, because even in that short time it really got out of hand," said Rumsey."The way it was spreading it did make me nervous about the houses that were back there. I've seen it jump the canyon before, so it was pretty scary." No evacuation orders have been issued so far. Authorities have not said whether they have any containment on the fire, but reduced smoke in the area indicated crews have made progress with their aggressive attack on the fire.
